It all depends on you objectives. On a short, lightly loaded tour I rode 1774 kms in 11 days. I was using it as a training ride, and stopping to look at the scenery was not my objective.

On a longer fully loaded tour, my wife and I averaged 81 kms/day for 74 consecutive days for a total of 6,000 kms. While we had a timeline, we also had a little flexibility to explore, and enjoy the ride.

There are almost as many styles of touring as there are people touring. It is really a personal preference, based on objectives and physical ability.
